A 16-year-old boy was rushed to a hospital after he was shot in his leg Saturday evening in Indio, police say.

The shooting happened about 5:20 p.m. in the 44-200 block of Jackson Street, which is between Avenue 44 and Emerald Avenue, according to Indio police.

Investigators are still trying to determine what led to the incident and "the possibility of the shooting being gang related has not been ruled out," Acting Assistant Chief Chris Hamilton said Sunday morning.

Police have not released the name of the victim, whose injuries were not life threatening.

The shooting is being investigated as an assault with a deadly weapon. No suspects have been identified and a gun has not been recovered.
